THE PREDICTION
New York City’s back-to-back 1-1 draws against Orlando City and Toronto has extended their unbeaten run to four matches since their opening day defeat to DC United. Back-to-back defeats for the visitors has continued their poor start to the season in all competitions whereby they have won just three of their nine matches this season and two of those were in their CONCACAF Champions League round of 16 tie against Real Esteli. A theme of their run has been a lack of goals - they have failed to score on five occasions; NYC’s anomalous 5-0 win over Cincinnati has papered over similar cracks with Ronny Deila’s men having notched just six in their other four games. Given that, this one could be a low-scoring encounter.
